"Here is the new Tempest beta release. Our normal changelog is below, and immediately following this post is a write-up from Roger that organizes the bug fixes in relation to the petition for reference. Please post any new bugs to the sticky'd Bug Reporting thread so we can track them for the official release.
Note that we’ve locked this thread so people don’t have to search through lots of pages to find the first post containing the download. But we’ve created a new thread immediately following this thread for you to post any bug reports. Thanks for your help in testing!
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR IMPORTANT WORK VIA SYSEX DUMP BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OS UPDATES!!
Not that we're expecting bad things to happen, but always better safe than sorry. Just remember, you're never going to say to yourself 'Man, I wish I hadn't backed that up...'
We do not recommend using the following MIDI interfaces for sysex transfers as we have had multiple users experience problems with them:
Native Instruments Maschine
Digidesign Mbox/Mbox2
Digidesign 001/002
CME U2MIDI
To check if the OS update was properly installed, restart the unit and press the 'system' button. Navigate to the 'show system information' menu item and select the menu item. The currently loaded Main, Voice, SAM, and Panel OS version numbers will be displayed on screen.
If your OS update failed:
Update your MIDI drivers for your MIDI interface to the latest or last known stable version
Try alternate speed settings: transfer speed settings as low as 25% and as high as 100% have worked for some users when 80% did not
Try an alternate MIDI interface. The M-Audio MIDI Sport Uno works well here and is relatively cheap
In Windows with MIDI OX on Windows XP: Try doubling or quadrupling the Size setting to start, and halving/doubling the number of buffers
Search google and/or forums for the company that produces your MIDI interface to see if other users are having similar problems with Sysex transfers and whether there is a solution specific to your interface
If you are on Windows XP, try another OS or machine. Although it's not ideal, we have had less problems with Mac OSX and Windows 7. Windows XP has known issues with sysex transfers
INSTALLATION NOTE: It is recommended to recalibrate the oscillators/filters and reset the system parameters after installing a Main and/or Voice OS update. These functions can be found in the system menu.
